Yeah as a tech worker this is how we test apps internally before releasing them on the store. You have to modify your settings to allow 'third-party' or 'unknown' apps (depending on your version of Android) before hand though.

This is also how adult-content apps bypass big tech censorship. Ditch Apple!

Yep, they're rotten to the Apple-core. Probably because there's a thirsty tree or something.

I get that you are being sarcastic, but in a sense Google is definitely the better alternative because they don't make money from Android itself, which is open source, but rather from the bundled Google apps and the Play Store. Therefore they cannot stop you from installing 3rd party apps via the .apk file method and if they tried people would simply fork Android and everybody would switch to that.

I've never liked Apple because they prefer complete control over their customers while Google gives their users more freedom to make their own choices.
